Utah has filed her application to be ad
mitted to the Union as a State, under the
constitution framed at Salt Lake City last
summer. This constitution declares
against polygamy, but as long as major
lty OF the Mormons in Utah believe in po-
lygamy the sincerity of the declaration
and the intention of that majority to live
up to 1t may well be questioned. There
can be no harm in keeping Utah terri
tory, and under the control of Congress,
until there is more evidence of some real
change of heart on this subject.

The anarchists are still ranting. but at
safe distance. Their organ in London
says OF Gov. Oglesby: "The governor of
Illinois, like cowardly murderer that he
is. skulks in the seclusion of Springfield,
hedged by an army OF detectives, shiyer-
ing with terror for fear of the wild jus.
tice of revenge which is certain to over
take him before long for his late bloody
work" Gov. Oglesby has stood fire in his
day and we venture to say he is doing no
trembling now. His assassination, if it
should happen, would do more to bring
about the stamping out of anarchism in
th,s country than any thing that has hap
pened yet.

soil in the bottom of the nests. A
good plan is to cut sod Of suit
able size, turn it over in your box
and pack so as to be of concave
shape in the centre; then cover the
earth with straw broken short. In
very cold weather mix good pro-
portion OF feathers in the nest
lining, chicken feathers may be
saved for this purpose, and put q
spoonful Of sulphur, in when the
hen is set. The heat OF the fowls
causes the fumes to penetrate
every part of their bodies. thereby
killing all vermin and leaving the
brood clean and healthy. Never
set eggs laid near the close of the
season when the hens have been
very prolific, as they viii produce
weakly chicks liable to disease and
early death. In arranging nests
remember that the nature of fowls
is to hide their nests under a
brush heap or some out-of-the-way
place, and humor this habit by
providing nests SO sheltered or
hidden that they seem to offer Sc
clusion and quiet.

and scrapes up the manure once q
week, diluting it with about an
equal bulk of dry muck.
With snow on the ground, says
the "Agriculturist,' the world is =
wilderness to hens; they have no
inducement to lay, and will quick
ly defer egg production, until
spring invites them to begin. The
food at such times should be given
warm and on board. a clean
place should be made for them
and the house rendered as com
Portable as possible. The main
factor in egg production in winter
is warmth and dryness. 1t may
involve labor to remove enough
snow to afford them room, but it
must be done, or there will be no
eggs. The value of a good, warm
shed will be appreciated by the
hens when the snow is on the
ground, for they prefer to be in the
open air during the daytime, and
their health is greatly improved
thereby.
Nests for setting hens are best
on the ground, but where this is
not feasible put some clean moist

Laying hens. says the Plough
man, must be closely looked after
at this season of the year if many
eggs are expected. While corn
may be the principal food, they
should also have wheat, barley,
oats, shorts, boiled potatoes and
apples; also cabbage and chopped
hay, or rowen moistened with
warm water. Keep ground oyster
shells and bone constantly by
them, also gravel and plenty of
pure water.
The season for setting hens is
coming. The question as to the
shape of eggs for setting may we'll
be considered. Does it pay to
pick out eggs of good shape, to
avoid pointed eggs and those with
the "bigness" all at one end?
Breeders differ in their opinions
as to this point. But the Rural
New Yorker" hen man believes a
hen in perfect health always lays
well-shaped egg; that pointed
or poorly shaped egg is sign
that the hen is too fat or other
wise out OF condition. One ex-
perimenter says that he sprinkles

readily conduct heat may be used
for filling the double walls of an
ice-house, and for packing around

may be used instead, bu. whatever
the material used may be, it is OF

POINTS ON POULTRY.

Turkeys are capable of rapid di-
gestion, and are always apparent
ly hungry. If allowed to forage
they can be kept at a very small
expense, but when kept in confine-
ment they consume more than
hens. When young and growing,
they produce carcass equivalent
to the food consumed.
tits mistake to suppose that
because ducks are fond of water
they will do well if kept in damp
quarters. They must have a dfS,
placeia which to sleep, or they will
soon show signs of diease, and in
the end die. Ducks that are well
kept through the winter, having a
warm place at nights, will be-
gin to lay a month, earlier than
those which sleep on the warm
side of "a barnyard fence.
Fish has been highly recommend
ed as wholesome and nutritious
diet for fowls and an excellent
substitute when other meat cannot
be obtained. Where the poultry
man is situated near fish market
he can obtain large quantities of
refuse and waste material of the
fish which cannot be sold, and If
this is fed to the fowls it will fur
nish them with cheap and nutri.
tious food, and if anything, better
than any other meat diet which
can be obtained.

Good Crops Without Rain.

The so-called luck element
apparently entered into Iowa
farming more the past year thar ct
any time in its history Whss,
after weeks Of dry weather, the
needed rain put in an appearanes
1t came Gin streaks.'' Sometimes
it would only touch a part Of the
mans farm, and half mile from
there the whole township received
a copious supply. Here is case
III point that came under the writ
er's observation. Near Kirkman,
IN this State, a farmer had to sell
his farm on account tof debts for
machines, interest on mortgage,
etc. The buyer put in about lA
acres OF corn, leaving only twenty
acres for pasture, etc. Sunshine
and rain, in just the right proper
ton, gave him z crop averaging
slxty-fve bushels to the acre,
which, selling at twenty-five cents,
brought him the money of his in
vestment, leaving the farm as his
profit.
Itwas satisfactorily demonstrate
ed, last season, that good crops
can be raised on Iowa soil Bithou:
a drop of rain from seed-time p
harvest, and it is almost safe .
say, q dry season here is the pre-
ferable one for small grain. Last
year was the first time that the
threshing machines got left on :
the measure. A farmer near Mar
engo brought a load of oats that
measured forty-three bushels from
the machines, but weighed thirty
three pounds to the bushel) sixty
six bushels and twenty pounds
